Translators note:

For easier understanding Ive compiled a list of characters and names, its mostly for my sake so that i wont forget them, but Ive changed some names from the previous translator.

You can find it here: (or click the link at the bottom of the chapter)

Ive also listed other characters there, if you have better ideas for some of the names feel free to comment on the list.

13

Two years have passed since then, i am now 7 years old, and Oskar became 5 years old. Recently, i have been itching to do something.

That is.

Father. I want to learn martial arts like Oskar.

Huh?

A fencing teacher arrived when Oscar celebrated his 5th birthday. This seems to be necessary education for noble sons. As for a daughter of nobility, i am suffocating, because im only learning how to make tea and studying proper etiquette

Father isnt the only one who made a face like a peashooter. Because i declared it in the morning when the family gathered for breakfast, grandmother as well as the servants were surprised. My sight stopping at Cecile, i gave a wry smile.

Older sister . what are you saying this time

But, It seems to be fun! If i learn martial arts ill be able to protect myself. Please? Father, grandmother!

Self protection wont be necessary. Youre protected by guards, and generally you dont really go out, do you?

Oskar, if you say such a thing, you will be told that you are naive (by?) noble girls?I have trouble with this one, this is what the MTL literally gave me.

What for?

When i enter school, there will be a lot of commoners as well. If i dont share a common interest i wont be able to make any friends, right?

At this statement the maids stare in wonder, Cecile looks down touching her forehead with her hand, Sebas puts on an indescribable expression, and father and grandmother are acting like they saw something strange.

What?

Rose I think there is no opportunity for you to speak with the commoner students.

Is that so??

Yeah. Because you are the daughter of a count, you will enter the department for the distinguished families the Kachuka class. Only the sons and daughters of nobility are in that class. Although there are exceptions.

Uh? So, are there only the boys of count houses i met at the royal palace?

Well, i think so. Since those are the only children of the same age as you.

Im gonna be exposed to loneliness, am i not?

While im still shocked by the reality, Oskar begins to eat silently.

Regarding Oskar, are there other children his age?

Ah, theres the princess, the dukes son, the marquis son, the marquis daughter and two daughters of a count house.

Eh, Oskar only? Thats unfair!

What is unfair?! It is just coincidence.

Recently, youre not being very adorable, brother!

When i sulked, father recalled something and opened his mouth.

Oskar, since you also became 5 years old, in 3 days you will be going to the royal palace to greet His Highness.

Yes, father.

Ohh, already that time.

Rose, you too.

Eh?

You went home right away last time. It was said that you should come to the royal palace as well at this chance.

Ehh Again ?

What, Rose. What is so unpleasant?

Uhh The royal palace is so constraining

In addition, even if i myself dont know, there might be people with thoughts similar to that mother, whats supposed to be pleasant? .

Rose. You are a lady. You only have to act as one.

Grandmother who seems to sympathize, comforts me with a worrying gaze.

Yes.

After that the meal advanced safely.

AH! I want to learn martial arts. Father, its ok right?

I was about to forget the story, but when i repeated it father and grandmother dropped their shoulders. Good grief!

But, i will not lose here!

I pleaded and turned towards them with glittering eyes.

Ahh. I understand. Try doing it

Father compromised at last.

Thank you, father!

Though being cheerful is good, you must not neglect the lady education.

Yes, of course.

Yeeeees! I won!

I will have to quickly prepare clothes that are easy to move in. It has been decided that i will be studying under the same instructor as Oskar.
At first, since im the daughter the lecturer opened his eyes wide, but consented after i conveyed my intention with an earnest look.

Because i am not physically fit, we started with building up my basic physical strength.

Within a short time, i go for long runs, do stretching and do practice swings.
I made good use of the spare time between the other lectures, and created a daily routine.

Because i got a stress-relieving method, everyday was fulfilling.
